I have an 11.5" 6.8 and a 10.5" 5.56 and both are suppressed. It is surprising how much handier the 10.5" is given the pretty minimal length difference (about 1.25" or so due to different suppressor lengths.)
I hunt predators and hog with these rifles, and, especially at night, the difference really shows.
The 62gr Federal Fushion MSR ammo is good stuff and works well on targets as variable as hogs and coyotes, fox, raccoons, opossums. I wouldn't hesitate to use this ammo for HD. I would not choose XM193 for HD in any situation out of any rifle. Repelling leftist hordes... yes...
For practice, training, plinking, anything should work. It is not difficult to set up a 10.5" or 11.5" rifle to function properly.
I'd suggest saving some time and effort and maybe some problems down the road and installing an adjustable gas block so that when you get your suppressor you can tune the gas properly, or even before you get your suppressor depending on gas port size.
